What I Now Know (W.I.N.K) That Walking is Easy When The Road is Flat

What I now know, is that it is so easy to get caught up in the "Why Me"? What did I do wrong to deserve this? Why do bad things happen to good people?

I'm sure many of us have asked these questions at some point in our lives; I know I have. What I didn't know was the all-important answer. That some things just are. You might be thinking what kind of an answer is that? Well, it just is. We can spend our whole lives looking for the answers to these questions, when what we should be really looking for is the lesson.

It's not the answer, but the lesson learnt that allows us to move forward with our lives, make any necessary changes, and not to have history repeat itself. If only we could realize it at the time, that we are being challenged as a way to build our own individual characters. If we all got to walk the flat road, and never had any hills, how would we be able to build any strength of character, and deal with life's challenges? How would we know what the view was like from up there?

I know for me personally, my road has had many hills, sometimes even mountains. But I have survived every one of these by learning the lesson and putting changes in place to take a different route. It might explain though why I drive a 4WD.
